Laura chatted to Maribel Aburto and Katia Guiloff about a community mural being planned by the Latin Collective. The idea is inspired by the colourful living murals created by Chilean immigrant communities in France. The Latin Collective held community discussions to determine the themes for the artwork, and recruited a mural artist from Chile to help with the design. They are inviting everyone to join them on the weekend of 30-31 March.

Marie Fitzpatrick (photographed left) and Nic Murray (right) started sharing baking to light up the lives of others going through tough times. Now they've assembled an army of more than 1,500 Good Bitches who have baked up more than half a million deliveries across NZ, they've baked with prisoners, and now they're on a mission to amp up their kindness even further and make NZ the kindest place on Earth. Host Christine Langdon talks with the head bitches from Good Bitches Baking - a super kind charity that has taken Wellington, and New Zealand, by storm.
